Humanitarian response

We respond to new and ongoing disasters and provide aid to keep pastoral communities going.

PENHA has been supporting pastoral people and communities across the Horn during drought, flooding, Tropical Cyclone Sagar and the COVID-19 pandemic.


What we do


COVID-19 response

The coronavirus pandemic has immensely affected the livelihoods of the billions population globally. Giving pastoral communities livelihoods depend on mobility and cross-border trades. The impact of the lockdown and the measures being taken by the governments is affecting their households incomes. Besides, the refugees and migrants have been also affected emotionally, socially and economically.


Responding to disasters and building
resilience

The Horn of Africa is one of the regions exposed to many natural and manmade disasters. Risk preparedness and prompt emergency responses are critical to saving the lives of the pastoralists and their assets.  The recent disasters include desert locust infestation, drought, Tropical Sagar Cyclone and El Nino.
